Everyone entered the great hall, for Harry and his friends this was their 4th year at Hogwarts but for the terrible twos- Fred and George- it was their 6th year. Fred, George, Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione all walked over to the Gryffindor table and took their seats Harry and his friends sat opposite the twins. They watched as this year's first years sat upon the stool and was sorted into their houses as they once had so many years before.
After the sorting before Dumbledore started the feast he spoke something different in his speech.
"Now this year we shall be joined by another school, so please give a warm welcome to the students of Wiz Tech and their headmaster Professor Crums!" With that all the students heads snapped to the doors as they suddenly burst open midway in Dumbledore's speech. Now usually the students of Wiz tech would wear black glasses as part of their uniform but seeing as how they weren't necessary they were taken away.
The students walked neatly towards the front of the hall, walking in rows of four. Each student wore their uniforms neat and sensible apart from one girl; she walked while chewing gum and wearing a stylish brightly coloured shirt which was easily noticed by her open robe, she appeared to be at least 16 years of age. Her long Raven- like hair bounced on her shoulders as she came to a hault and stood to one side with the others.
Next the headmaster walked in with a young dorky-looking- teenager beside him. The young boy smiled brightly as a child did at Christmas. They approached Dumbledore.
"And I believe this too be?" Dumbledore said to the dorky teenager.
"Erm, Justin Russo sir" The boy smiled again. At that point the young girl who seemed to wear the inappropriate uniform did a fake cough into her fist.
"Ahem... Loser!" She was loud enough for the whole hall to hear, everyone burst out laughing and the teenage girl laughed to. Fred and George smiled and laughed along with the others they liked this girl, she must have been a trouble making prankster like them.
"Alex!" Justin snapped at her, the girl who apparently went by the name of Alex immediately dropped her smile and let her eyes wonder around the room. Fred and George shared glances, at least now they knew the girls name.
"Now then you may sit wherever you like" Dumbledore said, Alex looked over to her brother who walked over to the Gryffindor table, Alex quickly caught up to him, she would be able to annoy him more if they sat together. When they got to the table Alex looked around for a spare place to sit.
"Hey!" Fred waved, Alex walked over to him, with her brother trailing behind. Fred and George moved up a little giving her just enough room to sit down. He tapped the seat and Alex smiled warmly and sat beside Fred, Harry and the others looked over at her and smiled, they introduced themselves and then Justin coughed to get some attention. Annoyed faces shot a look at him.
"Any room for me to squeeze in?" He asked hopefully, everyone looked around and then started laughing.
"No way man," Laughed Fred,
"Why don't you go sit," George continued.
"With the Ravenclaws!" The twins chorused together, Justin frowned and walked over to a separate table and sat down on the edge. Alex laughed and turned to Fred and George- she now knew Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and the twins' names now.
"You guys are awesome!"
"So we've been told" George beamed at her. Hermione laughed,
"And just who told you that your mother?" She said sarcastically. Fred and George placed their hands over their hearts in mock offence.
"Oh! Well I am shocked!" Fred said being over dramatic.
"I'm hurt and we thought you were our friend!" Both boys hugged each other and pretended to cry, they wiped at imaginary tears then Ron spoke.
"You two are bloody mental!" Ron said "And where's the food?" He snapped and pointed at his empty plate for emphasis. Dumbledore started to continue his speech.
"This year we will be selecting two students from Hogwarts and one student from Wiz Tech to compete in the Tri Wizard Tournament, this tournament consists of three task, three extremely, dangerous task!" Dumbledore said trying to make himself very clear.
"Wicked!" Alex, Fred and George all said at once.
"The winner of this shall not only win eternal glory but they will also take away the Tri Wizard Cup!" He screamed the last part out as he turned around sharply to watch the Tri Wizard Cup fall from Hogwarts enchanted ceiling. "Might I warn you however, that no-one under the age of seventeen will be able to participate!" He advised them, and after that warning a strong percent of Hogwarts and Wiz Tech students booed and hissed at Dumbledore. It was mainly the Gryffindor table that roared with anger.
"SILENCE!" He ordered, he moved to the Goblet which had been conjured up in the centre of the room. "Now when you leave this room an age line will be put into effect, if you wish to enter then simply write your name upon a piece of parchment and throw it into the flames. The results will be revealed this time next week, so I suggest you hurry" With that, the Prefects lead their houses to the common rooms as the Wiz Tech students met with their head teacher and Dumbledore to discuss where they would sleep. Before parting Fred and George said goodbye to Alex.
"Hey catch ya later Alex!" Fred and George sang together, waving.
"Catch you later guys!" Alex shouted back and waved them off. Alex took her place on a bench behind the Wiz Tech students.
